AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2004 Toyota MR2 has a concerning pattern of recurring issues, especially in its most recent MOT results from February 2026. A minor exhaust gas leak was noted, which is a persistent issue dating back to 2025. The vehicle also failed the MOT in March 2025 due to multiple tyre wear issues and a non-functioning offside stop lamp. These failures indicate a lack of maintenance or neglect over time. The condition trend appears to be worsening. While the car passed in 2024 and 2023 without defects, the 2025 and 2026 tests show increasing problems. Tyre wear is particularly concerning, with nearside rear tyres close to legal limits and front tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. This suggests either prolonged use or extended periods of inactivity leading to rubber degradation. With 128,499 miles on the clock, the vehicle averages just over 5,800 miles per year. This is unusually low for a 22-year-old car, indicating possible long-term storage or minimal usage.
